build wt supporting HTTPS (using crypto) with MinGW

Added by Стойчо Стефанов Stoycho Stefanov over 13 years ago

Hi,

I cannot enable the crypto support when I build wt with mingw32-make. I configure the build as follows:

$ cmake E:/Downloads/wt-git/trunk \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="c:/ss/minGW_libs" \
-DBOOST_DIR="c:/ss/minGW_libs" \
-DBOOST_COMPILER=mgw46 \
-DBOOST_VERSION=1_49 \
-DHTTP_WITH_SSL=ON \
-DSSL_PREFIX="c:/ss/minGW_libs" \
-DHTTP_WITH_ZLIB=ON \
-DZLIB_PREFIX="c:/ss/minGW_libs" \
-DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DBUILD_TESTS=OFF \
-G "MinGW Makefiles"

I cannot see whether the zlib is properly enabled and wt will support zlib.

In "c:/ss/minGW_libs/lib" are the libs: libcrypto.a, libcrypto.dll.a, libssl.a, libssl.dll.a. In "CMakeCache.txt" is set this variable as follows:

//Path to a library.
SSL_LIB_RELEASE:FILEPATH=c:/ss/minGW_libs/lib/libssl.dll.a

I don't now why the .dll.a file is set and not the static .a library.

I append the "CMakeCache.txt" as reference.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I recommend that you look into WtFindSsl.txt and modify it so that it actually finds your sll library.

Best regards,

Wim.

Hi Wim,

thanks for your fast answer, but I did it in another way.

After configuring, I just edited the "CMakeCache.txt" file and set all SSL_ related variables in "CMakeCache.txt" file. For me it looks as follows:

SSL_INCLUDE_DIRS:PATH=c:/ss/minGW_libs/include
SSL_LIB_DEBUG:FILEPATH=c:/ss/minGW_libs/lib/libssl.a
SSL_LIB_RELEASE:FILEPATH=c:/ss/minGW_libs/lib/libssl.a
SSL_PREFIX:PATH=c:/ss/minGW_libs
SSL_TOO_LIB_DEBUG:FILEPATH=c:/ss/minGW_libs/lib/libssl.a
SSL_TOO_LIB_RELEASE:FILEPATH=c:/ss/minGW_libs/lib/libssl.a

USERLIB_PREFIX:PATH=c:/ss/minGW_libs

I'm not arguing that that is the most elegant solution, but it works for me and I'm happy with it.

Is it ok that wt libraries (wt, wtext, wthttp) depend on the boost libs, ssl, crypto, ws2_32, mswsock, or I had built it wrong?

Regards,

Stoycho

Hi Wim,

I think I found the reason of this dependencies. In the "CMakeCache.txt" file (starting with line 500 in the file appended to my first post) the dependencies for the target are set wrong, e.g., "c:/ss/minGW_libs/lib/libboost_regex.a" instead of "-lboost_regex". I could not managed to set them right. I still build with dependencies.

Unfortunately, I can link in my Eclipse project to all libraries but the zlib. It seems the Eclipse Linker cannot link to the zlib.

best regards,

Stoycho
